On Oct. 9, Capital Area Human Services provided Narcan training for 20 staff members at Pointe Coupee Homebound Health & Hospice in New Roads. The attendees said the training was highly valuable because of experiences they have had with opioid overdoses in the area. Narcan is the life-saving medication that reverses the deadly effects of overdoses from opioids. The CAHS representatives also talked about measures individuals and families can take to prevent misuse of opioids.
